This file will need to be re-applied if/when official patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in the Beta, FM Touch or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for Brazilian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players are not in the official database and these will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

German club names are licensed this year, so they may have had some changes from names in previous FM versions...
Obyt14
Don't you correct those names to have correct shortnames displayed?
mons
Usually yes, but since they're officially licensed this year, I never saw any reason to correct any of them.
neguetomo
mons
If the game isn't in English, names aren't properly licensed for some reason
neguetomo
Oh thats okay, im brazilian but I can use english. Thanks mate!

I'm using a Mac and can't seem to find anything under Sports Interactive in the Documents folder. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Qvordrup
the old hong kong premier league with uid=23088614 is now extinct.
the competition with the uid=5624449 is the new hong kong premier league (was the 2nd tier 1st division)
the competition with the uid=5624450 is the new hong kong 1st division (was the 3th tier 2nd division)
the competition with the uid=7400579 is the new hong kong 2nd division (was the 4th tier 3th division)
the competition with the uid= 23179126 is the new hong kong 3th division (group a uid= 5624539, group b uid=23025136 and group district uid=23025136) (was the 5th tier 4th division)
could you please take a look at what that means to the competitions names?

1) Do I not do the same for the folder 1901?
2) Do I not copy paste the file "Susie Real Name Fixes - FM19 German Club Name Changes" into "Editor Data" file?
Thank you.
mons
That's the logopack I use - no idea how they haven't appeared as such in the screenshots
Keyzer Soze
Quick question.
I'm playing the touch version oficial the game on a Android tablet, and i copy all the files into the folders mention in the tutorial.
Many things seems to work great: competition names, brazilian team names, and others. But the portuguese club names still have the default names, like SLB and FCP. But the portuguese competition names have changed for the right names.
Anyone knows why team names didnt changed?
Edit: nevermind. It's already working, after aplying the instruction in the first post. Thks

I meant to check this at home when I got the chance, but it seems like you get there before me

No real need, no. You can do the same steps if you want to set your mind at ease, but it doesn't have any effect at all...
